The game is truly enjoyable if you play blindly. Meaning you try the game not bcs you wanna compare THAT game vs ToF or can ToF kill THAT game.
Character customization is nice though they're lacking in variety of body type. Colour wheel is working fine and the default outfits for male (my avatar is male) are decent. There are a few hair not be available with some outfits to avoid hair clipping.
Graphics are certainly better in pc version. I play with 60fps and it's certainly gorgeous. The lighting is beautiful and the blurry distance functions well. I use apocalypse filter which makes the world looks more grimly. It's definitely my favourite filter.
Coming from PGR, ToF combat is clunky and the dodge mechanic sometimes didn't work. Vfx is decent but the impact of certain weapons feel empty. I like pummeler since it's the only weapon that gives heavy impact.
Exploration is satisfying. There are variety of chest types which make finding them very rewarding. Also each map completion gives free outfit and that's a nice touch.
The gacha rate is okay. Guarantee SSR in 80 pull and if you get SSR before reaching pity, it doesn't reset. You can find currency through weekly missions and exploring.
The story is like your typical mmo. It's jumpy and rush most of the time. The start of each chapter is great but the follow up is weak. Side quest stories are more interesting than msq. The english VA for male mc is better than the jpn VA, but most of the npc english VA are meh to mediocre.
A reasonable and well-thought review, I agree with all of your points.
